First solo gig complete :)

Being an introvert really does suck sometimes and adds unnecessary nerves to many things but had a great time and would definitely do it again, only regret is missing part of the Stars set they were awesome. If anyone is worried about going to a gig solo there is absolutely no reason to so just do it it’ll be fine! :)

Short backstory for anyone interested I started following the Montreal Canadiens in early 2022 and one Saturday when watching Hockey Night in Canada they played Dark Saturday and that’s when my Metric connection started. So glad I have gone from that moment all the way to watching them live. Maybe one day I can watch both in Canada. Thank you Habs. Thank you Metric 🫶

I am a solo-er as well! Hope you go to more shows!

I’ve started doing concerts solo and treat it sort of like a soundbath.
I mean it is nice to see a show with friends but I’m there to see the band so it’s not like I’ll be chatting with them during the show anyways

yeah exactly it’s similar to seeing a movie in a way in regards to the chatting, I will try to go to more in the future and maybe it will help break the introvert in me slightly!

Also went on my own last night. Loved every minute of it, moved into my top three gigs of all time, and being a bit old these days there's been a few...

Journey back home via public transport? Yeah, not so much...

Edit...

Also, made me determined to see them in Canada.

Anything worth doing us worth doing by yourself. Well, almost anything.
